That's the first time I've heard you refer to open source as "our community". That is a welcome change! It is not a change. I have always said (since 1998) that the two political camps in the free software community are the free software movement and the open source camp. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
